Default Battery Light - Coming on and then losing all electrical power.

I have a '97 2 dr Dodge Neon DOHC.

Recently I have had my battery light coming on and then within about 10 mins I would lose all power and the car would shut down. I had the alternator checked and they said it was outputting about ~14volts and that should be fine. So I replaced the battery after they told me I had some dry cells in it and I thought everything was good until I went for a drive and withing about 2 mins the battery light came on again.
I pulled over and restarted my car and the light stayed off for about 30 secs and then again came back on.

Any ideas? Cables on the battery side look to be in good shape and the alternator seems to be outputting enought volts so I am a bit lost here.

Any help would be great!
Thanks

the pcm regulates you volts so it may be going bad
i would bypass it with a exturnal regulater buy runing a hot wire from your alt to the regulater to the battery
the regulater in mine is form a ford truck but works great and is only 15$
